Xtreme

​

Blue Bayou Dixie Landin’ has an Xtreme ride ready to spin you till you don’t know which way is up. Xtreme is a Maurer Rides SC 2000 model that was originally installed in the Netherlands, where is was known as Xtreme. The coaster features a large light up sign at the highest point so it didn’t make sense for the park to change the name when it was relocated to Blue Bayou Dixie Landin’ in 2007. This park does have other relocated coasters with leftover signage or themeing that doesn’t correctly match the current name, but we will gloss over that for now. This coaster has single cars, each car holds four guests, two facing forward and two facing backwards. When the car leaves the station it is locked and cannot spin, so you can experience the first section of the ride facing forward or backwards before the cars freely spin.The ride starts with a climb up the lift hill to a height of 50.8 feet since guests are back to back where you sit will give you a different perspective. At the top the ride makes a quick turn and dives down the curved 50 degree drop at 37.3 MPH. From there the track rises and banks again, when it levels out the cars unlock and begin to spin freely. From that point on the ride is a blur. The track rises and drops always in banked turns and helixes around the 1,391.1 feet of the circuit. Cars are still spinning as the ride enters the brake run, and finally the car locks and return you to the station. Riders are left dizzy and confused, possibly wondering where their lunches went.
